Sadly, on the 5th of February 2025 we lost our dear friend Olie.

Olie had the purest soul, and was one of the kindest and most loving people I have ever met. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about you brother.

The grief of losing a friend at such a young age is the most difficult path I've ever had to navigate, I've dealt with sadness and heart ache over the past 3 years due to other circumstances going on in my life, but the sudden loss of Olie cut the deepest.

I've met my soul mate, and I've finally been blessed with a beautiful son, but the sadness I feel knowing Olie will never get to experience these moments is what hurts me the most. This thought goes through my head every single day.

I've got all I need in life, so for my 30th birthday instead of receiving gifts from friends and loved ones, I ask please spare some money to such a worthy cause which is 'Two Pints Deep'

I never understood the importance of men speaking about their emotions and how they are feeling until it was something that personally affected me.

It's OK to not be OK, but I promise you now it's a weight off your shoulders when somebody else knows.

Reach out to your friends and family and please let them know how you are feeling.

Here's to you Olie, I find peace knowing you are safe now. Rest in paradise brother x
